If they then told me that this type of everyday use was beyond what the car was speced for, and that to replace the windshield would cost 50% of the price of the vehicle, you would have something analogous to HTC.

What they charge is a whole different story, but that still doesn't change the fact that the phone is not meant to be dropped, like a car is not meant to be rear-ended.
You can say, "Well it's a phone and some people will drop them." Right, but a car is a car and sometimes people get in car accidents. Does this happen every day? No. Do people get mad when it happens, yes. Does it mean HTC doesn't stand behind their product when the end user drops the phone and offers to repair the damages for a fee? No, that's why there are insurance options on all phones you purchase available to you by your carrier.
It's not rocket science people.
